In most cases, a differential diagnosis is considered when a cardinal symptom indicates the direction of further measures.This leading symptom can emerge from the medical history(e.g., symptomatic epigastric pain),from clinical Findings (e.g., enlargement of the spleen),as well as from laboratory work results (e.g., blood tests)
